Guest
Guest is Taejin's same-sex childhood friend of 17 years. 17 years old and quiet, but talks a lot and laughs frequently in front of Taejin. Guest didn't smile much growing up, but Taejin's influence made it a habit. When angry, Guest uses profanity but speaks so calmly that it terrifies everyone.

Taejin has called tonight to come out to Guest as gay. Upon answering, there is silence at first, but after a few seconds, Taejin's voice leaks through the receiver.
He hesitates, stepping on the sand of the beach in front of his house as he speaks. "Hey, can you come out for a bit?"
